Clarkson’s Farm season 4 reveals shock Grand Tour reunion that’ll leave fans in fits
A new trailer for Clarkson’s Farm has given a look at Richard Hammond’s reaction to finding out his former Top Gear co-star Jeremy Clarkson named a pig after him.
Clarkson, 65, is returning to screens for a fourth season of his beloved Amazon Prime Video series, alongside partner Lisa Hogan and sidekick Kaleb Cooper.
This time, not only is he dealing with all the antics on his farm, but also revealing the difficulties he faced opening his The Farmer’s Dog pub.
In recent months, Clarkson has shared the struggles he’s faced at his Oxfordshire pub, admitting he’s been suffering ‘total disasters’ making profits amid behind-the-scenes issues.
In the upcoming season of Clarkson’s Farm, viewers are given a glimpse into his despair over the pub facing a power cut and busy lunch services going ‘bust’.
However, we’re also treated to some of the more light-hearted endeavours on the farm, including his beloved pigs.
At one point, Clarkson reveals he’s named one of his pigs after his former The Grand Tour co-star, declaring it’s ‘Richard Ham’.
He later tells a laughing Hammond: ‘You know you’re in the show.’
While Hammond makes a trip to visit Diddly Squat, it was previously reported their co-star James May was ‘banned’ from the pub, with the pair said to be ‘in intense competition’ and trying to ‘outdo each other’ with their rival pubs.
Elsewhere, Clarkson leaves Charlie Ireland stunned when he admits his plans to open a pub, before the trailer shows behind-the-scenes glimpses of readying the pub for customers.
With renovations under way, broken buildings and fallen ceilings, Lisa warns: ‘The only thing that would help this s**thole is a wrecking ball.’
The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host also sends his co-stars into fits of giggles after declaring: ‘Pigs have clitorises, I didn’t know that.’
Lisa cheekily replies: ‘Yeah he can’t find it either.’
The synopsis for this season teases: ‘Jeremy is taking on his most ambitious project yet, setting out to buy a pub that will reignite his Farm to Fork restaurant vision.
‘But the road to becoming a landlord isn’t exactly straightforward, and with new faces, new livestock and new machinery arriving at the farm, life at Diddly Squat is busier than ever.
‘After rounding off Season 3 with the Diddly Squat gang toasting a tumultuous year, we return a few months later to discover that life on the farm has become rather different.
‘Kaleb has embarked on a nationwide tour with a one-man show about farming, Lisa is away working on another new product line, and Jeremy has been left to run the farm by himself.
‘Of course, help is soon sorely needed, and the welcome arrival of a new farmhand not only gets the farm shipshape in record time – it also gives Jeremy time to think.
‘Jeremy hatches an ambitious new plan to reignite a Farm to Fork vision, and at the same time get back in the council’s good books by drawing some of the crowds away from the ever-popular farm shop. And to think, all he needs to do is buy a pub.
‘It seems, though, that the road to becoming a landlord isn’t exactly straightforward, and along the way Jeremy runs into every obstacle that the parlous state of Britain’s pub trade can throw at him, from old derelict buildings and a picnic site with a colourful past.
‘Mercifully, Cheerful Charlie is there to lend a guiding hand, but even he isn’t prepared for the challenges that arise once Jeremy finally finds his perfect pub.
‘Diddly Squat isn’t much of a refuge, either. There’s a farm manager returning from his tour to discover someone else has been farming his patch, a Lamborghini tractor seriously showing its age, a menagerie of livestock to manage that includes a big new bull, a very little pig and a herd of high-tech goats – all while mother nature conspires to make this one of the toughest years ever for British farmers.
‘Suffice to say, there’s a lot to contend with. But this is Diddly Squat, and when the whole gang pulls together, anything is possible.’
The first four episode of Clarkson Farm season four launch globally on Prime Video on May 23.
